Something Positive To Take From Tonight...

[dgack]

-- Our first team defense held Cincy's first team (yeah yeah, sans Palmer, whatever) to *minus 18 yards* of total offense. That bodes well for us.

-- Thought McCune looked very sharp. Much better than Rocky did. What a difference a year of NFL conditioning and experience makes?

-- As we've all been hoping for, Campbell looks like the man. Collins might have lost his backup job tonight.

-- For as bad as the score looked, the team stats were nearly identical... they ended up with 5 more minutes of possession and 50 yards more of offense. Considering the point swing we'd get back if Collins never takes the field, I think I can live with that

-- Mike Espy should definitely make the team. I like his work ethic and the way he plays hard out there. I'm tired of hearing about how good Jacobs is and then watching him bone it.

-- That Lloyd grab was silly. I got all tingly when I saw that. The INT was probably the result of Brandon running the wrong route, a casualty of a 700 page playbook, I guess. But considering how long we endured Ol' 50-50 and Lavernues and Shirley, having guys who can make catches like that alongside Santana and Randle El is extremely exciting.
